CLEVELAND — A little boy had the surprise of a lifetime Friday when a Cleveland police officer went above and beyond by organizing an incredible surprise party for the child’s 6th birthday.

The Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association shared photos of the event on Facebook.

The boy, who goes by “Peanut,” just wanted some sunflower seeds and carrots to share with his five other foster siblings.

But Cleveland Police Officer Brooklyn Barnes had a few extras in mind.

Barnes arranged to have the CPD mounted unit and motorcycle unit stop by. She also had a bounce house set up, and provided pizza, cake and “tons of presents,” the post said.

Nice job Officer Barnes! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Peanut!
